"The plate centrifuge has multiple settings for time, speed and centrifugation speeds. these settings can be saved as separate programmes, so it's easy to use the next time. Cleaning is easy. The rotor can be switched out and buckets with holders for 15 ml or 50 ml conical tubes can be fit in, so has multiple uses."

"Highly reliable centrifuge with ease of use. The variety of rotors and adapters allow for use with a multitude of different tubes. Used with a FA-45-48-11 rotor and refrigeration it permits reaching speeds up to 20,913 very useful in separations of small volumes. The digital console is easy to use and programmable."

This small bench-top centrifuge is especially practical due to a variety of swing-bucket and fixed-angle rotors, as well as component adapters.

Not only is the centrifugation of almost all industry standard tubes made possible, Microtiter and Deepwell plates can also be used. In addition, the new PCR tube strip rotor allows for the centrifugation of a wide range of PCR tubes (individual tubes, 5- and 8-piece strips).

With the help of the comprehensive modular accessories program, separations in the smallest tubes are as easy as the high-volume centrifuging of Falcon® tubes and bottles (max. capacity in the swing-bucket rotor: 4 x100 ml).

As with the refrigerated version, the Centrifuge 5804 R, and other related models (Centrifuge 5810 and 5810 R), the clearly laid out control panel allows up to 34 individual programs to be saved. Also, 10 start and braking ramps are provided for sensitive centrifuging materials. Further useful advantages of the Centrifuge 5804 include low construction height, motorized lid locking and minimal required bench-space.
